A friend was given a sporterized mauser. It is a pretty looking gun. I would never have done it but that's besides the point. We dont know what caliber it is. Now I have an 8mm mauser so I tested chambering a round. The 8mm chambered just fine. There was no issues chambering it with the bolt or extracting it with the bolt. I also dropped it in freely and it went in and out no problems. Due to my brother's stupidity I learned that an 8mm will chamber in a 30-06 garand. My question is will an 8mm chamber in any other size caliber or is it just an 8mm mauser?
